We need to keep our eyes on the prize, which is making it easy for users to understand and use the software and for volunteers to get involved. To the extent that consistent API and doco design contributes to these goals, great. But arcane rules or excessively complicated APIs that make it harder for people to use the software and get involved are to be avoided.

Right. I'm going to grab a shovel and start digging a hole to bury
myself in right now. For my defence, I remember having been asked to
conform to those rules I was enumerating in my first post a while ago.
Whether it was something which had wide consensus was actually my
question. Sorry Luc and Phil for taking your time.
Best regards,
Sébastien
